We’re Jessica and Darren, small farmers and creators of Homegrown Cone. Though we are transplants to Hawai’i Island, we aspire to honor the Kānaka Maoli values of caring for the land (Mālama ʻĀina) and caring for one another (Mālama Kekahi i Kekahi) in our life and work.
Our hope is to contribute to a resilient community, a healthy environment, and a thriving local economy, all while promoting the unique agricultural products of this beautiful island to its residents and visitors.
Behind every serving is our Homegrown Cone pledge:
We source ingredients exclusively from local farmers and producers, directly supporting food autonomy on Hawai'i Island
We practice regenerative farming, use compostable consumables, and prioritize on-island products to reduce carbon-hungry shipping
We prepare fresh fruit by hand, freeze it quickly to maximize flavor and nutritional value, and never use chemical preservatives
